Is there a way to make multiple answers correct in a multiple choice question? I accidentally gave two correct answers and two incorrect, but I can only seem to allow one at a time for full credit.
Yes, it seems that you are able to do this by using the "Vary Points by Answer" option when creating multiple choice quizzes. You just need to divide the total amount of points for the question by the number of correct answers. Is this what you are looking for?
@ryanmccleary Welcome to the Canvas Community!
In case this turns out to be a source of confusion, Canvas currently has two separate quiz tools, and rpsimon is providing instructions for the Multiple Answers question type in New Quizzes. If you're using Classic (Old) Quizzes, you won't see the ability to vary points by answer; it was developed expressly for the new quiz tool.
Same. I need multiple answers to be correct but only have the students choose one of the correct answers.
This question is marked as answered, but it isn't actually solved.
The original poster had a quiz and then later went back and wanted to update the key to accept more than one answer. It takes SAT, College Board, and other entities years sometimes to craft quality multiple-choice questions. As teacher teams, we do our best to create perfect assessments, but sometimes, we have corrections after the students have taken a quiz.
I want to accept that a characterization answer B AND C for equal points and update the key. This should automatically update the scores for students who selected EITHER B OR C as an answer choice.
Microsoft does this.
Zipgrade does this.
Every other assessment platform I've ever used has this functionality.
Please, please add this option. We're not asking for a question with multiple correct answers. We're asking for a teacher to be able to adjust a key after a quiz is given and have scores update automatically.
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
